Instructions

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease your skull mold.
Pinch off a piece of dough and press it into the skull cavity, ensuring it is thin enough to cook through.
Add one spoon of pizza sauce, a small handful of mozzarella, and your desired toppings inside each mold.
Leave a border around the edges to seal.
Seal the filling by placing another thin layer of dough on top and pinching the edges together.

Baking

Bake in the preheated oven for 14 to 18 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let them cool in the mold for 3 to 5 minutes before unmolding.

Notes

These pizza skulls can be customized with different fillings, including vegetarian options. Do not overfill or they may leak cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months.
